India Arie has tweeted that her next project is not a continuation of the Testimony series but a whole new concept album based on duets. Maybe that was sparked by her collaboration catalogue.

The album is called Open Doors and is set to drop sometime in the fall/winter bracket.

India.Arie took on Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s latest video “Telephone” in a recent ramble on Twitter. The neosoul singer went on a tirade on how it’s degrading and there is too much nudity.
